Collect Open 2026, the Collect fair’s platform for pioneering craft installations, invites individual artists and duos working in craft disciplines to submit bold, original installation proposals that challenge conventional perspectives—social, political, material, or personal.
Selected by an independent panel, successful projects will be showcased among leading galleries at the fair, offering a major platform for career growth. Applicants must submit visual proposals and demonstrate a strong craft-based practice.
The deadline to apply is Sunday, 22 June 2025.
Collect 2026, organised by Crafts Council UK, will take place between 27 February and 1 March 2026; the call to take part will be open in June 2025.
